Hello everyone,



I thought I should take some time to respond to some queries regarding whether or not Jamay, Jalisco, actually exists or if it has been abandoned.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Jamay is a small but nice town overlooking Lake Chapala.  It is between Ocotlán and La Barca along the Carretera Guadalajara-México,D.F.  I have been there a few times.  I remember climbing the steps with my mom, dad, brothers, aunt, and my "Abuelita Lupe" up to the church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe on top of a hill when I was 8 years old.  I pass by there all the time whenever I go visit my family in Ocotlán.  My mom was born in the town of Cuitzeo, just next door to Ocotlán (on the other side of the river).  My grandfather was born in "El Xoconoxtle" northeast of Ocotlán.  Both my mom and her dad were baptized in the parish church in Ocotlán.  My mom has many fond memories of Ocotlán, Cuitzeo, Jamay, and La Barca where she and my grandparents visited frequently, and sometimes

Does any one know about a General named Pedro Zamora? 
He was a rebel General that fought with Emiliano
Zapata in the southern part of Mexico.  I would
appreciate any information that any one has on this
individual.

Thank You,

  Friends;  I keep seeing locations that are not Jalisco and presume 
that those locations are very close to Jalisco. I can't find "Jamay" 
Jalisco on a map, was it town that is now abandoned? I wonder, where 
is Rancho San Agustin ?  How close are La Barca to Guadalagara ?

  The reason that I asked was because my Great-grandfather (Estavan 
Ramirez)was born in Portezuelo, Jalisco , married my Great-
grandmother (Alvina Navaro)Born in San Agustin, Jalisco. My mom said 
that Estevan was a french soldier that changed his name from Dubois 
to Ramirez. He met and married Alvina(the foreman's daughter)while in 
hiding at San Agostin.  My mother,Julia Ramirez was born to Estevan 
and Alvina's son Modesto Ramirez, in Guadalajara on 22 May 1908. My 
mother said that the records of my great-grandfather, Estevan are 
kept by a lady in "Chapulapec". I think there is a famous place 
called Chapultepec, but is it in Jalisco ? Is there a place in 
Jalisco by the same name ?How would a person check

Jon,

Kitty Cortez was asking about finding Batch numbers and I thought of
your above response. Can you give us a few more words on this? also
would you care to comment on the LDS meaning in this response. I
didn't exactly understand how this reply would help in getting batch
numbers:

"You can see the ordinance dates on the Internet International
Genealogical Index IF you register AS A MEMBER of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints."

Would you happen to know if there is a relation between batch numbers
and ordinance dates? 

thanks,

joseph
